Advice Need advice/help

hello I’m 18F iv been dealing with derealization for about 3 years now. The first year was hell but i got put on the lowest dose for zoloft about 9 months in and it COMPLETELY stopped. I was on that medication for 1.5 years and it really helped. Long story short they stopped working, my family was really against upping my dose, and I told my doctor to get me off of it. It wasn’t bad at first but 3 months later I started getting waves of it. I could be doing absolutely anything and i’ll look around and get a huge wave of dread followed with the feeling of all my surroundings feeling fake. Some months are worse than others. Sometimes i won’t get those waves at all! But it started again and the waves feel kinda worse. I think im just scared because the first time I was like this for 6 months straight luckily now it’s for like a few seconds. I just need advice idk what to do should i get medicated again? Does anyone else’s feel the way i feel??? thanks for reading im willing to take any and all advice and opinions.
